Star running back Kalel Mullings and the Michigan Wolverines (3-1) are set to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-2) this Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET at Michigan Stadium.
The visitors suffered a 31-14 defeat at home to Iowa last Saturday, falling short of expectations as a three-point underdog. Meanwhile, Michigan edged out No. 11 USC with a 27-24 victory at home in their last outing.
Minnesota had their two-game winning streak halted after a tough loss at home to Iowa in their last outing. Now sitting at 2-2 overall and 0-1 in Big Ten play, the Golden Gophers are hitting the road in hopes of pulling off an upset. Against Iowa, Minnesota fell behind 7-0 after the first quarter but bounced back to lead 14-7 at halftime. However, they went ice cold in the second half, getting outscored 24-0 and ultimately falling short.
On the other hand, the hosts are riding a two-game win streak, having knocked off No. 11 USC at home last week. The Wolverines, who are 3-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play, are looking to continue building momentum after recovering from a tough loss to Texas earlier in the season.
